I was working on some training material and wanted to show how complex ad hoc connections between systems can be. I needed to calculate the number of potential connections between a number of systems, so I had to relearn a formula. Between 2 systems there is only 1 possible connection. One way to calculate this for more than 2 objects is to add up all the whole numbers between 1 and (n-1) where n is the number of objects.
